Couple notes on availability:
I am running on Eastern Standard Time which I think is GMT -5.
As of late September, my work completely blocked Livejournal. Which was annoying, but I'm lucky it took them so long to do so. As I've been working 9 hour days and am a programmer, that kind of sucks for my availability during the week. (This is the main reason I haven't apped a second character and is primarily why I didn't apply for helpstaff - 80% of the time I spend on the computer, I can't even get to LJ.)
Now recently, they unblocked www.livejournal.com - but then they went and blocked community.livejournal.com. So during the workday, I can get to individual blogs, get my LJ PMs, but communities? Nnope. I can see individual journals, even read entries that aren't LJ-cut in my friends list, I just can't access communities at all. It's weird, but I'm not complaining. NEVER MIND. They re-blocked it. Dammit, work.
So I can usually be found online between 6 pm and 10 pm EST during the week. If you want to get a hold of me any other time, Gmail is the way to go since my job seems to be focusing on going after social networking sites and doesn't block e-mail services. Probably because they'd prefer my Dad NOT inflict his many many forwards on the work e-mail system...
But yeah, because of work I'm usually not up very late at night. So if you're replying to me after 11 pm EST and I don't respond - don't take it personally, it means I went to bed and then went to work all day the next day.
